Show #022: Coil, Voctave, Paul Amlehn and more...

It's a mainly electronic show tonight with a heavy IDM flavour. Much of the music on this week's show was discovered on midnight trawls through SoundCloud, which my first port of call when looking for new sounds.

'British electronic music and techno artists, including Aphex Twin, Cylob, and Mike Paradinas, have criticised the term IDM. Paradinas has stated that the term IDM was only used in America.'

'In a September 1997 interview, Aphex Twin commented on the 'Intelligent Dance Music' label:I just think it's really funny to have terms like that. It's basically saying 'this is intelligent and everything else is stupid.' It's really nasty to everyone else's music. (laughs) It makes me laugh, things like that. I don't use names. I just say that I like something or I don't.'

'Cylob, aka Chris Jeffs, said, "Also, anyone who applies the term IDM to my music deserves to be shot."'
